This is an exciting time to be involved in managing the public forest estate in the South of Scotland. Offering a fantastic range of recreation opportunities across a stunningly diverse landscape, the region has truly amazing experiences to offer both visitors and local communities.
The Visitor Services (VS) Team is responsible for providing a high quality visitor experience. Core work of the team includes planning and managing recreation opportunities, engaging with visitors, facilitating events, facilitating education and learning, working with partners & tenants, dealing with public enquiries and engaging with communities.
Both AVSM posts will be involved in a broad range of work activity across the region but will have core areas of responsibility. One post will primarily be responsible liaising with tenants and leaseholders and managing key visitor infrastructure such as our visitor centres and forest drives. The second post will be responsible for managing recreational access to the forest estate including our walking trails, multi user path network and mountain bike trails.
